I listened to a talk from a conference on my phone while I was in bed last night and a small snippet from the talk is sticking out in my mind this morning.
She talked about what it must’ve been like to be in the presence of Jesus. I guess I’ve always had this vision of him being an “all business” kinda guy- like he just walked from situation to situation, crowd to crowd.
But actually he was quite enchanting to be around. I imagine being around him you could tell what a sweet man he was. The way he treated women, the way he sweetly cared for children, the elderly, those in pain. He was a very sweet man, and I believe he was enchanting to be around- that to be around him was to be bewitched by him.
He was such an attractive man to be around. Crowds of thousands would follow him- I’m sure part of that was about the healing but I think he also was just so sweet and lovely that when he spoke people just wanted to be near to him.
That’s my Jesus- sweet, loving, enchanting, bewitching, a smile on his face- that’s my Jesus.
